Central Library is launching a new season of Music on the Mezzanine, bringing free live performances to audiences every two weeks. The popular programme returns with a vibrant mix of familiar favourites and fresh new talent.
This year’s line-up includes ten concerts, featuring returning acts like the Edinburgh Recorder Orchestra, Simmerdim, and Vonodh Jayakrishnan, as well as debut appearances from exciting artists including Zonos and Moonlighting Flutes.
Audiences can enjoy a wide range of styles, from folk, classical and South Indian music to electronic soundscapes and Celtic-inspired jazz.
Highlights include violin and flute duo Luis Flores Carrubio and Ailsa Thompson on 14 February, a trio of young Scottish musicians on 28 February, percussionist and composer Valerie Thibault on 28 March, and a closing performance by the Composers Orchestra on 20 June.
Music on the Mezzanine has become a valued part of our cultural programme, bringing quality, accessible live music into the heart of the library.
We’re delighted to welcome audiences back for another inspiring series of concerts. This season reflects the diversity, creativity, and talent of our musicians, and there truly is something for everyone to enjoy.
Culture and Communities Convener Margaret Graham
